Kurdish regions are under developed when compared to the rest of Iran and Kurds are executed on a daily basis by the regime for 'crimes' like 'enmity against God' or 'corruption on Earth'. It's usually because of political dissent. Kurdish kolbars are also killed by regime soldiers for smuggling goods, it's unfortunate as this is their only way of providing for their families due to low employment, but still even if it's outlawed it's wrong to kill them.
The recent unrest is about Iran's reaction to the Kurdish referendum. They've said they will close the border between Kurdistan and Iran which is angering the Kurds. Negative reactions to our referendum has only meant that Kurds are uniting.
